I want to transition out of B4 consulting into Energy, Power and Utilities industry. I've got 6+ years experience in Strategy, PM, Change, and E2E implementation.
Any advice on how I can make this transition?? Im currently trying to leverage my network to get me referred into some DMV based Energy corporations but any advice or feedback on this would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Having worked with energy now for a decade, I find myself enjoying the craziness of it all: You're always two decisions (in Moscow or Riyadh) away from prices halving or doubling. War or no war is quite often a sensitivity, and adoption of EVs/renewables/biofuels will be between X and 10X. Find it hard to imagine doing strategy work in the less volatile/crazy domains - what could be more exciting than this 😋
